GIGABYTE Marines (GAM) have become a phenomenon in the League of Legends esports scene around the world with their explosive performance and unique play-style at MSI 2017. Despite not making it into the top 4 at MSI, GAM still managed to earn an extra slot at the 2017 World Championship for the GPL region. Now the reigning GPL Summer 2017 champions, and directly seeded into the WorldsGroupStage, GAM is ready to take on the world.

In League of Legends, players assume the role of an unseen "summoner" that controls a "champion" with unique abilities and battle against a team of other players or computer-controlled champions. The goal is usually to destroy the opposing team's "nexus", a structure which lies at the heart of a base protected by defensive structures. Each League of Legends match is discrete, with all champions starting off fairly weak but increasing in strength by accumulating items and experience over the course of the game.

League of Legends was generally well received at release, and grew in popularity in the years since. By July 2012, League of Legends was the most played PC game in North America and Europe in terms of the number of hours played. As of January 2014, over 67 million people played League of Legends per month, 27 million per day, and over 7.5 million concurrently during peak hours.

GAM (company)

The Group sells to a wide range of client segments such as institutions, wholesale intermediaries, financial advisers, and private investors through two brands — Julius Baer Funds and GAM.
The Group’s investment management business is complemented by a private labelling unit which provides outsourcing for third-party asset managers.

Headquartered in Zurich, GAM has been independently listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange since October 2009, following the separation of the former Julius Baer Group Julius Baer, and is a component of the Swiss Market Index Mid (SMIM) SIX Swiss Exchange with the symbol “GAM”. The Group has assets under management of CHF 124.2 billion (as at 30 June 2015) and employs over 1,000 staff with offices in eleven countries.

History

GAM was founded in 1983 by Gilbert de Botton, who is considered the pioneer of the "open architecture" model. In 1999, it was acquired by UBS. It remained under the UBS umbrella until Julius Baer acquired GAM and three other private banks from UBS in 2005. GAM acquired Augustus Asset Managers in 2009, and later in the year separated from Julius Baer to form an independent, pure-play asset manager. The spinoff was completed by listing GAM as a separate company in the Swiss SIX exchange.

GAM (group)

GAM(ギャム,Gyamu) was a Japanesepop unit under the Hello! Project umbrella consisting of Aya Matsuura and former Morning Musume member Miki Fujimoto. This pairing was announced mid June 2006. Previously, Matsuura and Fujimoto worked together in the one-off group Gomattou with Maki Goto. Because "gam" is slang for "attractive legs" in English, the girls are known for wearing very short skirts in their performances and PVs.

According to Hello! Project producer Tsunku, the term GAM stands for "Great Aya and Miki". After GAM's debut, Tsunku has decided to keep the group permanent instead of a one-time deal. However, Fujimoto and Matsuura graduating from Hello! Project in March 2009, the group subsequently disbanded.

History

On September 13, 2006 their first single "Thanks!" was released in Japan and made its debut at number two on the Oricon Daily Ranking chart. The single made its debut—and peak—the following week at number five in the Oricon Weekly Ranking chart. The song has so far stayed in the top 200 for five weeks.
